Lucid Living

Lucid living is analogous to lucid dreaming, and lucid dreaming is when you are in a dreamscape and become aware of the power of directing your dream. The power comes through the awareness that you are dreaming and that you can shift the outcome of the dream.

This same power of lucidity is available for you in the awakened state that you are in at this very moment while you are reading this.

This morning I had an incredible lucid dream that I will share with you… in my dreamscape, I became aware that I was dreaming and that I had the power to modify the outcome and my dreamscape went like this:

My husband was telling me that he was leaving our relationship as he had met and fallen in love with Gwyneth Paltrow. Well, I was a little-bit-very-much troubled with his decision. And, like anyone would do, I managed to get ahold of an oversized pair of very sharp hedge clippers and I cut up all his shirts in his closet. After looking at the mess I made, I thought that maybe this was a bit over-the-top-dramatic (then again maybe not). I then remembered in my dreamscape that I was still in lucid dreaming mode and able to make changes to the outcome.

I paused for a second in the dreamscape, decided for a “do-over” and the dream sequence started over again. My husband was once again telling me that he was leaving our relationship as he had met and fallen in love with Gwyneth Paltrow. This time around I looked into his eyes and I could see how much this meant to him, and I said “Honestly, I will miss you, and I know that your heart will be happy as you are deserving of only the very best in this world. Everything is going to work out perfectly for both of us”. He smiled at me from his heart and I felt a massive sense of relief at having had the opportunity of the “do-over” (without having to get the clippers out again – whew!)

Needless to say, no shirts were harmed during the process and when I woke up in the morning I had the residue of the dreamscape still with me. It made me realize that in this present moment awakened state, it is often times so easy to respond to a situation with old patterning or reactions (not that I’ve ever cut up anyone’s shirts, just saying).

What if when faced with a situation that creates a reactionary experience, we just paused for a moment and requested a “do-over” moment.

The opportunity is available now for each and every one of us to engage in lucid living, a state of “do-overs” so to speak. When we are lucid and conscious of our thoughts, we become aware that we are the power plant that powers up our entire reality.

We are awakening every day and disconnecting from the proverbial mainstream-matrix. In doing so, we are discovering our own personal power and inner truths. In this awakening we are shedding off old patterns and beliefs that most likely were never ours in the first place; we accepted these through the conditioning and social constructs of desiring to fit-in and the illusion of being accepted by others rather than accepting ourselves first.

When you become aware of being aware, you live your life with lucid clarity while engaging consciously with Source (infinite intelligence). This opens you up to understanding your life’s experiences with compassion and expressing compassion to others in their journey, especially those that are not yet awakened.

The awakening process encompasses being lucid in our day-to-day lives, activities and creations.

Wishing you sweet dreams and loving lucid living!
